Ex-footballer of “Spartak” Yegor Titov believes that there is no need to wait for “undercover games” due to the absence of defender Georgy Dzhikia from the starting lineup of the “red-whites” recently.
Previously, Jikia missed several RPL games, but then started in the FONBET Russian Cup game against Dynamo (0:3).
— It’s good that Spartak generally has competition in defense. In this position in the “red-white” team, it is impossible to have a staked-out place. As for the situation with Georgiy Dzhikia, in most cases this is what happens – it is impossible to play your entire career perfectly. There are recessions and falls. There is no need to wait for behind-the-scenes games: Georgy is a well-mannered and intelligent person. This can be seen even in his interviews.
First of all, we must respect the coach’s decision, but Jikia behaves with dignity. The quality of his play in the cup match with Dynamo is a separate topic for discussion. But I wouldn’t want there to be any scandals: nothing has been lost yet. Only a third of the championship has been played. Everything can be fixed,” RT quotes Titov as saying.
Spartak will play its next match on October 8 against CSKA in the match of the 11th round of the WORLD RPL.
